far as oakland is concerned is that they can send tips anonymously through nicks and that they can talk to the person giving the tip and that they will not ask for that person's identity. so far in oakland if you include the five murders that just happen it is now 90 people that have been killed this year it was 81 people last year. >> the time now is 6:37 a.m. and we will be back in a few minutes. @p@po'

that team mobil will be behind sprint's. sprint bought nextel a few years back. t mobil and at&t were going to merge but then that was shut down. this was a great mole by at&t to keep the competition down. a. gan team mobile. it is not a deal that i will chase. there are rumors that have started that this may overshadow the problems with iphone 5. any time you can take the focus off of apple and the apology and talk

about the products. we have a pitcher all of kindle. we do have a pitcher of the i had that may come out. let's talk about a d p. this is the company that handles a lot of people's paychecks. this number can be very different, from the government. you hear ride on the road adp seems to be ok. at 4 and 4. a d p is problematic but it shows a slight improvement. it creates more accomplishments. we will see

if unemployment falls below 8%. it has been dropping but it is mostly because people have stopped looking for work. let's talk about beer. cheers sales are back up. can you get a degree there? there is probably the jobs there. but experts say that more americans are drinking craft beer. if you have no paycheck you cannot afford to be here so whether is smoking or drinking or gambling it may affect beer sales. i'm going to check out some beer sides to see

if they are hiring. >> we had really hot temperatures this week san but it changes finely and store. yesterdays was a toasty who won and we broke several records. it was a hundred and two degrees breaking a record was set back in 2001. let's check out san jose where it reached mid 90's. it has not been that high for quite some long. it is 57 in pleasanton and 62 in daly city. as we see where the numbers go as far as the afternoon by 12:00 p.m. lunch time we have to colors on the screen orange and yellow. it will be '70s for

the inland area. as we push the clock and to 3:00 p.m. we will see at lot read on this claim. the red is only reserved for livermore. morgan hill will be the same. who was still see the sun shine in pretty comfortable conditions. 85 for a loss gatos and plenty of sunshine and low 90s 4 pleasanton. for north bay area it will be 83 and downtown san francisco will be about 79 degrees and 68 for ocean beach. if you are going to today's game it will be a game changer. they

are facing the rangers and the first pitch is at 12:35 p.m.. this will be the perfect time to be out at the ball game. it will be sunny and warm and bring a tank top. they're calling for seven days from the bay and we do have the potential for wet weather. it is a 10 percent chance. the rain that we will see will be some spice tea at best. amid seven days. >> and the commute is still free of any hot spots and we do have some slow traffic in the easeast bay. 16 to 18

minutes. your ride to the san mateo bridge is likely to some construction delays later. so far the committee is moving pretty well about 12 minutes for your drive. let's take a look at your ride through the golden gate bridge it is fall got free and no delays. the slower traffic is in the east bay and the drive time is now 22 minutes from hercules to berkeley. the san maloney ballet will be getting heavier and westbound in a state 80. the south bay at 101 is the heaviest traffic. in marin
